MOLDER S CHAPLET.

Application filed January 9, 1908.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ROBERT B. Haskins, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Molders Chaplets, of whichthe following is a specification.

My invention relates to that class of devices which is employed forsupporting, and holding in position, the cores used in molding orcasting, and the object is to provide a simple, cheaply made,substantial and efficient chaplet, or anchor, adapted for use in anyposition and in moldingcastings of any desired thickness.

My invention consists in the chaplet hereinafter described and claimed.

In the drawings Figures l and 2 are perspective views of molderschaplets embodying my invention, and Fig. 3 a perspective view showing,on a smaller scale, a chaplet like that shown in Fig. l bent for useupon a cylindrio core.

The reference letter a denotes the base plate which is of sheet metal,preferably of tin plate; b b a series of legs, stamped from the baseplate and having feet c c adapted to serve as drawing surfaces; and l dopenings left in the base plate, by cutting out the legs, and serving asvents for the escape of gases or air. The legs and feet form supportsfor the side of the cliaplet, opposite the base s plate, and may be sodistributed as to ajford adequate bearing surface and supports forSpecification of Letters Patent.

the entire areaof the chaplet.

Serial No. 409,902.

The cha-plete are preferably produced by means of co-acting,mechanically operated dies which cut the blanks and shape the chaplet atone operation.

It will be noted that the bearing surfaces may be regularly distributedand in such manner as to produce a relatively large area of bearingsurface for each side of the chaplet; that the legs interfere butslightly with the inflowof the molten metal; that ample ventilation isprovided; that the chaplet may be used in any position without danger offormation of a pocket for accumulation of gas or air; that it may bemade of such dimensions as to adapt it for the use in making thethinnest of castings; that it is produced from a single piece of metal,small in proportion to the surface area of the chaplet, without anywaste of material, by a single operation and wit-hout hand work.

I claim as my invention:

A molders chaplet consisting of a single piece of metal provided with aseries of vent openings, and a series of supporting legs correspondingwith the vent openings, the material cut away to form the vent openingsconstituting the legs, substantially as and for the purpose speciiied.
